“A degree from the UK is ranked much higher. Studying in the UK will help me to be more fluent in English. The probability to find a job is much bigger and the salary will be higher. Also, the way you’re educated is better and you are able to experience a lot of things, which you won’t be able to experience in your home country.”

"Students get a lot of support to help them on their journey to achieve what they want to do and get to Durham University. We have tutors who are experts at teaching international students. Every student has an academic personal tutor who they will see on a one-to-one basis at least once every two weeks."

“I always wanted to be among people who are open-minded. That comes when you are in a place where there are students who are educated, who do not differentiate based on any religion, caste, or culture, anything. The openness is just amazing.”
